We had a wonderful meal with fresh local recipes and tasty food. This is a great example of diner food taken to the top level. Green chile is amazing. more

We dined here on 3/20/09, based largely upon the TripAdvisor reviews and ease of locating the restaurant. It was a Friday evening, approx. 6 p.m. There was a line of about 8 people outside the door (there is no where to stand indoors). We almost left because every table was full and we had a long drive ahead of us... more

Serves THE BEST New Mexican food in Gallup, NM or anywhere else!! Every item on the menu is good. The chili is mildly hot however the green chili is tastier than the red chili.

Friendly service in a down home eatery that is filled with locals. The sopapillas are outstanding. The red and green sauces richly flavorful. Can be crowded and there is little to no waiting area. It's crowded because it's so good! more

Keeping in mind that Jerry's is not fine dining (my cosmopolitan sister would not be the least bit interested!), this is a fantastic place to eat. It's tiny, it's a bit dark, no frills at all. But it was packed at 4:30 on a Tuesday -- because of the food! I got the stuffed sopaipilla and was appalled at how... more

Jerry’s has the best green chili and New Mexican food in the world. The best gift is when it is shipped to me. more

This is my favorite restaurant to visit when in town. The taste is wonderful, just delightful. Though there may be a wait, it is never very long before you get in. more

We arrived in Gallup around 3:30 PM on a hot Saturday afternoon. A trading post owner directed us to Jerry's. We were the only tourists and were encouraged to see a restaurant full of locals at a non-popular hour. We weren't disappointed in the food - above average Mexican. Reasonable prices and very helpful staff. Decor and atmosphere were "hole... more
